Fourteenth Century Sky is an EP by English big beat duo The Chemical Brothers, their second release under the name The Dust Brothers. The EP contains "Chemical Beats" and "One Too Many Mornings", later released on the Brothers' debut album Exit Planet Dust.
"One Too Many Mornings" found fame in 2001 after appearing in a UK TV advertisement. The version of "Chemical Beats" is the full-length version, with an extended intro. The full version of the song wasn't included on Exit Planet Dust due to an uncleared vocal sample and has not been available since. The sample was "take this, brother, may it serve you well," from The Beatles' song "Revolution 9".. They were later miscredited as sampling The Beatles song "Tomorrow Never Knows" (which sometimes closed Chemical Brothers DJ sets) in their hits "Setting Sun" and "Let Forever Be" (both feature Noel Gallagher, a well acknowledged Beatles fan). to the point where they were almost sued. The Chemical Brothers and Virgin Records proved they did not sample the song. "Chemical Beats" later gave the duo their name The Chemical Brothers.
Another EP, My Mercury Mouth EP, was released the same day.

Famous quotes containing the words fourteenth and/or sky:
“The surprise of animals... in and out, cats and dogs and a milk goat and chickens and guinea hens, all taken for granted, as if man was intended to live on terms of friendly intercourse with the rest of creation instead of huddling in isolation on the fourteenth floor of an apartment house in a city where animals occurred behind bars in the zoo.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“her image
Warped in the weather, turned beldamish.
Then back came winter on me at a bound,
The pallid sky heaved with a moon-quake.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
